Pocket Beyblade

Chapter 3

The boys were all set to battle. They didn't know much about Pokemon, but if they wanted their bit-beasts back, they had to do as Lugia wanted. First battle, Tyson's Gyarados against Rei's Persian. Gyarados roared in excitement, while Persian just licked his paws and purred.

" Ready? Go!" At the sound of Lugia's voice, both Pokemon looked ready for battle. Tyson and Rei prepared their attacks, while Max, Kai and Kenny watched.

Rei did the first move. " Allright Persian! Use..err..what's the move's name again..Oh! Fury Swipes!" Persian pounced at Gyarados and managed to to succesfully swipe him 3 times. Gyarados growled and became furious.

" Gyrados! Use your Hyper Beam!" Instead of listening to his master's command, Gyarados engaged his Thrash attack and went out of control. " Hey! Why aren't you listening to me!!"

" If the Pokemon feels the trainer is not worthy, it won't obey." Lugia explained.

" So I'm not worthy, uh? Whatever." Tyson didn't like the idea of being unworthy, but Gyarados' thrash was working anyways. Persian was taking several blows.

" Ah! Persian! Use your Bite attack!" Rei commanded. Persian dived its fangs into Gyarados, but did little damage because of Gyarados' scales. The sea dragon bite the cat back, making Persian faint. Rei reached for his Pokemon and held it in his arms. " Are you allright?" Persian gave him a faint lick on the cheek and Rei smiled. " Well, looks like you've won, Tyson!"

" Yeah! Way to go, Gyarados!" Both Tyson and his Pokemon looked happy.

" Ok, next is Pichu against Lapras." Lugia said.

" This will be a piece of cake, won't it, Lapras?" Max smiled and Lapras smiled back.

" There's no way little Pichu can win this!" Kai thought, but went into battle anyway.

"Lapras, ready? Use..your Sing technique! Whatever it does." Lapras let out a sweet sound, and the boys felt like going to sleep. " So that's what it does..well stop Lapras! Or I'll fall asleep on you!"

" Allright you pathetic rat, show me your Charm attack!" Pichu didn't seem to care about Kai's name-calling and made a super cute face at Lapras, which let down its attack. "Ok, Thundershock!" The little mouse shocked Lapras, but also shocked itself, as Pichu aren't too skilled with their electric attacks yet. Somehow the shock was hurting Lapras more than Kai would have expected from such a small creature. Of course! Electricity was stronger against water.

" Use Ice Beam, Lapras!"

" Dodge, rat!" Being small and quick, Pichu easily avoided Lapras' powerful beam. " Thunderwave!" Lapras became paralysed. Pichu shocked the water Pokemon a few times before Lapras fainted.

" Lapras! You did a good job! Rest now!" Max didn't feel bad about losing. Kai just smiled. Perhaps the rat wasn't so weak after all. Pichu jumped in Kai's arms, and gave him a hug. Kai stared in disbelief, not used to any signs of affections and not knowing what to do.

" Isn't that cute!" Tyson grinned. Kai stopped himself from blushing, and let Pichu fall to the ground.

" Allright. The last battle will be between Tyson's Gyarados and Kai's Pichu. Ready? Go!" Lugia said.

" Are you gonna listen to me now, Gyarados? Use Hyper Beam and finish this quickly!" Tyson ordered. Gyarados felt like he could trust Tyson, and decided he would obey. He prepared to fire his Hyper Beam.

" Pichu, use your..Sweet Kiss..attack." Kai felt ashamed of calling such a stupid attack name. Pichu jumped to Gyarados and gave him a kiss, which made Gyarados confused. The dragon fired his beam at the sky, while Pichu used Thundershock. Being a water/flying type, electric attacks were really effective against it. But Gyarados was still more powerful that Pichu, and Kai knew it.

" What are you doing, Gyarados? Use Hyper Beam ON Pichu!" Tyson was annoyed at his confused Pokemon. Gyarados prepared another Hyper Beam, there was no way Pichu could survive this one.

" Stop!" Kai said quietly. " I give up."

The gang was shocked. Kai Hiwatari? Giving up?

" This is stupid, I don't want to continue!" was Kai's reason for qutting. But the others knew he did it to prevent Pichu from being greatly hurt. Pichu knew it too, and was touched by this, and jumped it Kai's arms again. Then its body began to glow.

" What's happening?" Kai asked. Pichu glowed bright, grew up and changed form.

" Pika!" it said. Pichu had evolved into Pikachu from happiness!

" Pichu evolved into Pikachu because of it the feelings you had for it. Quitting the battle to save him was very noble of you. You truly have the heart of a champion!" Lugia said to Kai.

" Whatever."

" What about me, mister Lugia? I get to have a gift for winning!" Tyson said.

" Right! Here!" A small silver colored feather in Tyson's hands. " This is the Silver Wing, symbol of my trust to you."

" Oh gees, thanks..an old silver pin.." Tyson was a bit dissapointed. He'd have expected something better, coming from such a powerful creature.

" You all fought well. Now, it is time for me to take the Pokemon back. Say good-bye."

" See ya, Gyarados! Thanks for not eating me!" Tyson waved at it, Gyarados growled a good-bye, and was transported to the Pokemon world.

" Bye Lapras, I'll miss you!" Max hugged the sea beast, then it disapeared like Gyarados.

" Take care, Persian! Don't be such a sneak! " Persian rubbed against Rei, and was gone.

" Pikachu!!" Pikachu waved at Kai, but he turned his back to it. " Pika.."

" You stay out of trouble." Kai said, then began walking in the opposite direction. Pikachu understood Kai's feelings, let out another 'Pikachu' and continued to wave at him, until he disapeared to the Pokemon world too.

" Take care children." Lugia disapeared as well. From where he had stood, four familiar glows appeared, and went into each of the boys' beyblades. Their bit-beasts were back. They smiled, and joined Kai.

" Hey Kai," Tyson said with a grin, "you kinda liked the little guy, didn't you?"

" Whatever."

Liked it? That's it for now, but I may continue later.
